‘Lengthen’ and ‘Prolong’ are synonyms meaning to make something longer in time or space. The relationship here is similarity in meaning.

১. ‘Stretch’ and ‘extend’ also mean to make something longer or wider, thus following the synonym pattern.
২. ‘Draw out’ and ‘shorten’ are opposites, which contradicts the original relationship of the words.
৩. ‘Reduce’ means to make something smaller, which is the antonym of both lengthen and prolong.
